Application of Sebum Lipidomics to Biomarkers Discovery in Neurodegenerative Diseases

open access: yesMetabolites, 2021
Lipidomics is strategic in the discovery of biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). The skin surface lipidome bears the potential to provide biomarker candidates in the detection of pathological processes occurring in distal organs.

Increased diversity of Malassezia species on the skin of Parkinson’s disease patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2023
BackgroundParkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by motor disorders and the composition of Lewy bodies (LBs) in the substantia nigra. Due to the lack of a definitive biomarker, the current treatments do not modify the progression of PD.

Aging in the sebaceous gland

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Sebaceous glands (SGs) originate from hair follicular stem cells and secrete lipids to lubricate the skin. The coordinated effects of intrinsic and extrinsic aging factors generate degradation of SGs at a late age.
